Well I finally ended up having Glenn and most of the Eagles show up in my dreams last night. I know I was so emotional after the Grammys performance and I tend to have dreams like this a lot but with other celebs I'm a fan of, so I had a feeling this was going to happen but the 2nd one of the two was so vivid and weirdly comforting. The first I had was that Glenn apparently did some sort of acoustic performance last spring/summer and it was finally airing. He did his Eagles and solo songs, a couple covers, and then apparently a new song but I don't remember the lyrics just that I never heard it before. I think maybe my mind was making up for me never seeing him live.

Then it morphed into the 2nd dream which was so vivid. I remember it starting out that I thought I was watching "Almost Famous" since I saw the actor who played William sitting by a record player till I realized it wasn't the movie's characters as Don and Glenn were actually sitting opposite me on a couch looking like they did around 1973 or 1974 based off hairstyles and Glen having long hair but no mustache. It seemed to be in a dressing room backstage somewhere. Glenn was playing a guitar quietly while Don was lounging with his arms crossed listening to a Beatles record Cameron Crowe (who my mind showed with the actor who played William) was playing. Randy was sitting in a chair along the wall quietly listening along too, Bernie was lying on the floor throwing I think a tennis ball against the wall, and I think Felder was sitting in a chair next to mine (I only really saw the guy from profile so I think it was Felder as he was blonde).

Anyway, Cameron is asking the guys about how The Beatles were an influence on them and I hear Don start talking about how they watched them as kids and the same things we heard on the "History of the Eagles" doc. I keep looking around the room as my thoughts start realizing that one, this isn't a movie and I shouldn't be there and that I hear "Come Together" playing. I look over at Glenn and see him playing his guitar along with the song and it's matching perfectly. Suddenly Glenn all of a sudden speaks and says "It's always the ones like that that go first."

We all look up at him and both Cameron and Don looked puzzled, Randy looks concerned, and I'm shocked he said that. The thought comes to me that this is years before John died and he shouldn't know that. Cameron asks what that means and I'm starting to speak when I see Glenn look up and stare straight at me. I then hear him speaking though his mouth never moves saying "Amanda, don't tell them the truth. They need this and you need this. Just let us have this for a little while."

I'm shocked he spoke to me as I actually heard his voice. So I try to think of what to say and end up saying something with my Beatle knowledge that John always wanted to start a band and how when he met Paul it finally started working so he was the originator/leader of the band. Cameron nods as he gets that and Don starts laughing and teasing Glenn for getting all the credit when he played a part too. Both Cameron and I even point out how they are like Lennon & McCartney. Glenn laughs about it and goes back to playing his guitar and talking with the other guys and I'm taking this all in right before I wake up.

It was just both so weird with the timing and how he spoke to me in it. It felt like I was there as I could feel the chair I was sitting in and remember so much of the details. I know I got inspired by "Almost Famous" and Cameron's story to start actually writing my own fictional stories I was creating as well (which have become my self-published novels) and how music always inspires me to write, so I feel like it makes sense for me to imagine this. And seeing the guys perform for Glenn last night I feel just brought this on but I'm glad it did. It was amazing to be in the same room with them and see them happy, especially Glenn.
